full body kit and Paint after minor crash?

[2008R18]

hows it going this is my first post so....

has any civic owners installed a body kit then changed the entire color of their car? ive had my R18 for a while now and im starting to mod it, we had a snowstorm up here and some douche slid into my car in a parking lot...

instead of just repairing the messed up front bumper, i was thinking about just buying a full kit and painting over everything and getting rid of all the dings and dents from the past year and a half....

i eventually plan to boost it, but im trying to take things one step at a time!

any advice will be greatly appreciated

repainting your entire car (the right way) is an insanely expensive venture. How much are you looking to spend?

not that expensive. i have my car done. shaved door handles, z3 inserts put into the stock fenders, molded rear bumper and 2 paint jobs (first one a coke head did ****** it up) gonna be a 3rd next spring maybe sooner. yes repainted the whole car. Rah rah ah-ah-ah!Ro mah ro-mah-mah Gaga Ooh-la-la!

what did you pay

I would imagine the low end price for a acceptable paint job on the entire body would be around $2000. $3000 - $4000 being the average price and all the way up to $7000/$8000 for a really good paint job with everything taken off the body and painted right.
